60 Years. One Community. One Weekend.
The Barbados Association of Winnipeg has been bringing Bajans together in Manitoba for decades — building community, celebrating culture, and keeping our roots alive across generations. In 2026, Barbados marks 60 years of independence. This conference is our community's way of honouring that milestone together. Whether you were born in Barbados or grew up hearing about it at the dinner table — this weekend is for you.
A weekend our community will remember.
Two days of reconnection, conversation, and celebration — all under one roof at the Norwood Hotel.
